    What? You don’t want to sink ten of thousands of dollars into a professionally installed solar power system? You want cheap solar panels?  With some smart shopping and DIY ingenuity, you can harness the sun for less.My first piece of advice for people looking for cheap solar panels is to AVOID OLD ADVICE.  Solar panel technology is in a stage of rapid development.  First generation solar panels are pricey because of the expensive materials and the skilled labor required to produce the cells.  Second generation solar panels hold some promise of affordability, but there is no way of knowing just how low they will go.

    My second piece of advice is that FREE is the cheapest that you can get.  Free solar panels are often used and/or damaged.  They may or may not meet your needs.

    The sticker price is only part of the cost equation. You have to compare efficiencies as well. A cheap panel with a much lower efficiency than a more expensive one may take decades to pay for itself.
